    What I Am Reading

    Strawberry Shortcake Murder

    After finally finishing my last book I am ready for some light reading. Right now I am reading the second book in Joanne Fluke’s Hanna Swensen Mystery Series.

    I really struggled to stay focused on my last book choice (read about it here) I decided to keep it simple this time. I enjoyed the first book in this series and really could just sit back and enjoy the book and not really have to think to much about anything but enjoying the story and watching it unfold. I am really hoping for that again.

    The main character in this series owns her own little shop called “The Cookie Jar”. Somehow in this small town she always seems to find herself right in the middle of a murder investigation. If this sounds familiar it’s because the Hallmark Murders & Mysteries channel has turned this into a tv movie series which is pretty good.

    One fun note about the books in this series is the author also includes several baking recipes throughout the book. Some of them look pretty good.

    I Finally Finished Reading

     

    The Sixth Day
    By
    Catherine Coulter & J.T. Ellison

    The Sixth Day

    Ok, I have finally finished this book. I usually really love reading books by Catherine Coulter, and I really have enjoyed this particular series that she writes with J.T. Ellison. It’s about a British agent who works with the FBI. There are several books so far in this series and I have loved them all. This one however was a difficult read for me. I really struggled to get through it and with it being over 600 pages it took me what seemed like forever to get to the end.

    I didn’t really hate the book, there were parts that I really liked but as a whole I found it hard to become invested in it. There were so many characters, and the story seemed to jump around. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it focused on the 2 main characters more and less on the minor ones.

    I know that there will be other books in this series, and I will absolutely buy them. One book out of many doesn’t detour me from enjoying a book series.
